Depending on what I am reading, I find that I use different strategies to help me understand. It doesn't really matter if it has a fancy, professional academic name. Or even if I am calling the strategy that right thing; the most important thing is that I use it again and again and that it works. I always have a hard time remembering characters in a story. Before I know what a character map was, I was drawing that out with every novel that I read. It helped me to keep track of who was who and what their personality was like. Tell me about a reading strategy that you use and explain how it works.

I use very specific stratagies like reading over the text and Making sure I understand. What I suppose to comprend With I feel that people should read the text first and be sure to look over the questions.

Carlton, I agree with you. You should always try and read the questions first and then read the text/story. It helps you to notice those specific facts when you are reading. It also makes what you are reading have more importance!! Good idea:)

What happens if you have trouble finding the reading strategy? Or better question how do you find a reading strategy for yourself?
